By the 2021-2022 school year, Cornell Law School students can expect to shell out $79,800 and Yale Law School scholars aren't much better off, with an expected tuition of $76,300, according to charts Leichter posted at The Law School Tuition Bubble.

Leichter used past tuition rates to predict future ones and only estimated for tuition — not extra fees like books or cost of living — so the real price tag will be even worse, according to Above The Law.
